An ancient miracle is also represented by Sinibaldo Scorza’s (1589-1631) Sacrifice of Noah after the Flood, in which the rainbow is a symbol of divine forgiveness and a promise of new life.

We also reflect over the colour as communication system that can be seen not only in the colourful plumage of birds, but also in the garish hues of the Australian Maratus spider, filmed by Maria Fernanda Cardoso (b.1963).
